Is it a PTB move to ban a user if their only activity in a community is downvoting posts? (sh.itjust.works)

Is it a PTB move ([email protected]) to ban a user if their only activity in a community is downvoting posts?

The behaviour baffles me a bit. If they dislike the majority of the posts in a community, why are they subscribed? Or if they are browsing by /all, why have they not blocked the community? Are they under the mistaken impression that Lemmy has an algorithm which uses downvotes as an indicator for "show me less of this"?

Has anyone else encountered a "serial downvoter" in any of their communities?

How do you see who is up and down dooting posts?

You don't seem to be a mod 😅

Wait, can mods see who voted on posts? I thought only admins could!

I think the functionality was added in the most recent update.
